Detailed explanation-1: -5) An Ethernet broadcast frame is received and processed by every device on an Ethernet LAN. The features of an Ethernet broadcast are as follows: It has the destination MAC address FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF in hexadecimal (or 48 1s in binary).
Detailed explanation-2: -In computer networking, an Ethernet frame is a data link layer protocol data unit and uses the underlying Ethernet physical layer transport mechanisms. In other words, a data unit on an Ethernet link transports an Ethernet frame as its payload.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a LAN, each node is assigned a physical address, also known as a MAC/Ethernet address. This address is unique to each of the nodes on the LAN and is 6 bytes (48 bits) long, which is burned on the Ethernet card (also known as the network interface card).
